Home Page of International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE)

This is the home page of the series of conferences that is now called
the International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE). This series
started as two alternating biennial conference series. One series, in
odd years starting in 1993, was the International Symposium on
Requirements Engineering (RE). The other series, in even years starting
in 1994, was the International Conference on Requirements Engineering
(ICRE). The two series merged in 2002 with the holding of the Joint
International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE'02), so named to
announce the merger. However, starting in 2003, the conference series's
name settled to simply ``International Requirements Engineering
Conference (RE)''.

Whenever a conference is sponsored by the IEEE, then ``IEEE'' is
prepended to its name.

The number of a conference, coming before ``IEEE'' is counted from the
beginning of the series it is deemed to be part of. Thus, there were 4
ICREs, 5 International Symposia on RE, and then the International RE
Conferences start their numbering from 10, which is 1 more than 4+5!

This web site contains general
information about the conference series and links to the home pages of
individual conferences that have home pages.

At each conference starting with the 11th in 2003, an award is given for
the most influential papers from the conference 10 years earlier, whose
number is 10 less than that of the current conference. The judging of the
eligible papers is done by the current program commitee. In any year, there
may be zero, one, or more such papers. If there are none, then in the
opinion of the program committee, no papers from RE 10 years ago was
influential. If there are more than one, then each will be in a different
category, e.g., ``research'', ``experience'', etc.
